Long married women call it the number one factor in making a marriage succeed...

What is it?

Well, I am a 'long-married' woman so I will give you the answer...FRIENDSHIP!

Did you peek, or did you know the answer after the first clue was given?

I met and married my husband really quickly 37 years ago. The odds that our marriage would last were very low in that our first 'date' was in February and we were married by July of that same year. Not a lot of time to establish a friendship. We spent many months after our wedding just getting to know each other. Thankfully, friendship has been a major part in the success of our marriage.

Dr Laura Schlessinger says the secret of a good marriage can be summed up in 4 words:

"Choose Wisely...Treat Kindly"

4 words that are key to a good marriage...and a good friendship.

The application of these four words and the building of a deep friendship takes a long time to establish.That is why marriage needs to be forever!

What is a Homemaker with Hope?

In Proverbs it says that a wise woman BUILDS her home. That is the foundation of Homemakers with Hope.
But what does it mean to be a wise woman? We've found that just growing older doesn't make you wise. We've realized that it takes a lot of work and focus.
So our desire is that this blog would be a resource for everyday life. From cooking to organizing to family relationships, we'll cover it all.
We'll provide affirmation, encouragement, and from time to time something that challenges you to pursue excellence.
Won't you join us on this journey?
